The tool, available on GitHub, focuses on dependency folders in dormant projects and is designed for developers who want to avoid manually running cleanup commands.

Jharu: An Open-Source Dev Junk Cleaner Unlike generic system cleaners that just target browser caches, this focuses on the stuff we actually create during development. It's essentially a specialized cleanup agent for people who don't want to manually run rm -rf on every old project folder. If you want to get it running, the deployment is straightforward since it's open-source.
